" Unhandled exception type ParseException"
I am not able to getrid of this.

I would advise against doing what ranjithcp suggested unless you are such a perfect programmer that you'll never get invalid data into your methods. Also what ranjithcp has failed to mention is that you'll have to put the throws instruction all over your code right up to your main method otherwise your just moving your error message up through your program.
You should always try and handle checked exceptions not throw them.

Sorry Butterbean, but I'm interested in the answer to your question myself.
I've spent a few hours transfering my library from one computer to another and then find out that my ratings didn't transfer. Like you, I've spent many hours rating my 2000+ songs. I'm sure you have more, nevertheless, I want to find out how to get those ratings. They still show in my iTunes on my laptop but, when I go to the iTunes folder and display the details of at song, no rating is there. If you find out how to get them to display there in the iTunes folder, it seems that would be the key.
Hope you get your answer soon.

R/3 Date Conversion problem

How to convert the R/3 Date to Array.

If you are receiving a date field from R/3, please use SimpleDateFormat(class) to re-arrange your date in any fashion. Along with the method format you can just have your date in any format :
DD-MM-YYYY
MM-DD-YY
DD-MMMMM-YYYY (Month will be spelled out as text)
All you need to do is :
SimpleDateFormat sf = new SimpleDateFormat("DD/MM/YYYY");
sf.format(myDateField);
Since R/3 date conversion is usually for this reason, I mentioned the above class.

Char to Date conversion problem - again!

Hi,
in order to make date selection 'more attractive' for end users I have been tasked with presenting a text field with 'January 2010', 'February 2010' etc to the end users for their prompts.
So far so easy...
However, I then need to use the values to derive either dates, or years, or date numbers.
This all works fine during development when I am testing using a default parameter thus; -
'@{MYMONTHYEAR}{September 2010}' - which is fed into various very complex functions.
BUT - when I try to use the report in conjunction with the parameter I get; -
'The evaluation of the index 6 expression on row count -1 failed. [nQSError: 46046] Datetime value 2010/09/01 does not match the specifiied format'
However, cast('2010/09/01' as date) works fine... and convoluted as the logic of my functions is, the fundamental char to date conversion is exactly in this format.
Anyone shed any light on this, give me a guaranteed way to handle char to date conversion?
thanks,
Robert.

Hi,
I tried your workaround case when 1=2... but I still get the same error....
Not when I have the format from my default value, but when I get the value from a dashboard prompt in a page.

It does not error, but returns no data in isolation, but when when from the prompt it errors...
And the date format, if fed into a cast ('2012/09/01' as date) does not error.
Anyone help - this is really driving me mad, syntax is good - it should work!!!

Date conversion problem.

I use 2 adaptive RFC function with a r3 backend system:
1- Search
2- Update
The first works fine, I show the data, one of the fields is a date (with r3 Date format) binded and in the web dynpro is showed in inputfield, with a little calendar icon on the right.
I have problem with the second one. Cause I use the same inputfield for both RFC. I bind in design time with the Search RFC and for the update I pass the changed values to the 2nd RFC trought coding.
What I want is just to save in a Variable, the value of the binded UI element, with the string type I have no problem, but when I wanna save my date field in a String It say that the conversion cannot be done.
EXAMPLE:
String value1 = wdContext.currentTable_CelElement().getNumcel();
I wanna accomplish that example but With Date format. So the question would be How can I save in a Variable a Date format field of R3.
"?" value2 = wdContext.currentTable_CelElement().getFecha();
Thx

Hi!
I think that this problem occurs because of different Date formats in your Web Dynpro Application: The R/3-Date format is mapped to java.sql.Date, and for your variable you probably use java.util.Date.
If so, try to use the sql.Date for your variable, too, or make a conversion like this:
java.util.Date myDate = new java.util.Date(wdContext.currentTable_CelElement().getFecha().getTime());

Thomas

Ideas? Not really, there's nothing wrong-looking about your code, but maybe I could ask some dumb questions.
Has this code never worked, or does it usually work but occasionally this error occurs? Have you just switched to SQL Server 2005 from 2000 and the error started happening?
Does the table you are inserting to only have those 7 columns, or are there others that are getting default values? Does it contain auto-generated identity columns? Are you sure you're using the right table in the right database?

Time String to Timestamp.png ‏18 KB

You are right Gogineni, when I got the error, I was using %S in the format string for Format Date/Time String function and %3u in the format string for Scan From String.
I found the solution in this thread - use %S%3u in both places.

Phillips date conversion problems

Hi chaps,
I am trying to convert a CHAR7 field from a phillips date, into an Oracle date format. The following expression does not work:
SELECT TO_DATE('2006214', 'YYYYWWD') FROM dual

However, if I try to convert the system date the other way to this format, it works:

I am obviously missing something obvious!!? Does anyone have any ideas?
thanks in advance

Date dateFormatter = new

Problem with String to Int conversion

Dear Friends,
Problem with String to Int conversion
I am having a column where most of the values are numeric. Only 4 values are non numeric.
I have replaces those non numeric values to numeric in order to maintain the data type.
CASE Grade.Grade WHEN 'E4' THEN '24' WHEN 'E3' THEN '23' WHEN 'E2' THEN '22' WHEN 'E1' THEN '21' ELSE Grade.Grade END
This comes the result as down
Grade
_0_
_1_
_10_
_11_
_12_
_13_
_14_
_15_
_16_
_17_

_20_
_21_
_22_
_23_
_24_
_3_
_4_
_5_
_6_
_7_
_8_
_9_
Refresh
Now I want to convert this value to numeric and do some calculation
So I changed the formula as below
cast (CASE Grade.Grade WHEN 'E4' THEN '24' WHEN 'E3' THEN '23' WHEN 'E2' THEN '22' WHEN 'E1' THEN '21' ELSE Grade.Grade END as INT)
Now I get the following error

Dear Kart,
This give me another hint, Yes you are right. There was one row which returns neither blank nor any value.
I have done the code like following and it works fine
Thanks again for your support
Regards
Code: cast (CASE (CASE WHEN Length(Grade.Grade)=0 THEN '--' ELSE Grade.Grade END) WHEN 'E4' THEN '24' WHEN 'E3' THEN '23' WHEN 'E2' THEN '22' WHEN 'E1' THEN '21' when '--' then '-1' ELSE Grade.Grade END as Int)

Facing Problem in parsing a string to date

Conversion of string into date????????????

Can anyone tell how to convert a String into date??
if the string is in the format "Thu Mar 25 17:11:34 GMT+05:30 2004"
i have converted it. code is
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss");
     dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("GMT+00:00"));
Date date = null;
try
          //date = dateFormat.parse(new Date().toString());
          date = dateFormat.parse(dateLine);
     catch(ParseException ex)
but i am not able to specify the year.
so when i getYear on the new Date it return 1970.

@duffymo, I'm pretty sure "d" is good for a two digit date, "dd" gives you zero-padding.
The problem, presumably, is that the format string "EEE MMM d yyyy HH:mm:ss" does not match the actual format "Thu Mar 25 17:11:34 GMT+05:30 2004".
The correct format string would be "EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss z yyyy"

Problem with the date conversion

Hi Friends,
i am facing the problem with the date conversion, Actuall my requirement is to pass the date to the screen based on the user setting roles(SU01).
I have fetched the user setting date format by using the funciton module SUSR_GET_USER_DEFAULTS, The function module picks the exact user date setting (Like as MM/DD/YYYY, MM.DD.YYYY, DD.MM.YY).
After that i have implemented the FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT funciton module for converting of the user role setting date format into system date format.
for the english language case the funciton module FORMAT_DATE_4_OUTPUT works fine but the funciton module not supported for other languages
Can you please provide the Function Moudle for user setting date conversion.
The funciton module is most important for us,
Thanks
Charan

Hope this logic helps you.
DATA LF_DATE TYPE DATS VALUE '21122010'. " 21-dec-2010
DATA LF_DATE_BI(10).
WRITE LF_DATE TO LF_DATE_BI. "Now LF_DATE_BI contains the date in user format
"Now populate the value LF_DATE_BI to the screen field
